The Jury: Everton fans on the Pompey win and the Europa League clash in Minsk
EVERTON rode their luck at Fratton Park last Sunday, and welcomed three points that in previous seasons gone by we would have missed out on. Playing badly and winning is a sign of good team isn’t it?
Saha’s cool finish proved the difference and it’s clear that Louis will score more often than he misses, being injury free will guarantee more goals than the six clocked up already this season.
I myself will be making the trip to Belarus and I am looking forward to tonight’s Matchday 2 clash in Minsk. FC Bate will be difficult game, they have lost only twice in nineteen games and proudly sit top of the Belarus Championship.
But what a fantastic opportunity we have this evening to secure a front running spot in our group.
With two home Premiership fixtures following tonight against Stoke and Wolves our ultimate aim is to continue this great run.
LEE MOLTON, St Helens
ANOTHER away win for the Blues at struggling Portsmouth has lifted us into the top half of the table and just a few points away from the top six. It was a solid performance with the defence and Tim Howard on top form, these games can always be difficult against teams fighting at the bottom. It certainly made the long trek home easier.
The performances over the last three weeks or so have been very good.
The form of Louis Saha has been very good and he is looking a class striker for the Blues. With the Yak coming back to fitness, the Blues have two very good strikers with Jo as a back-up.
It’s back to Europe for the Blues tonight with a trip into the unknown.
We should be able to get the points to put us in a very strong position at the top of the group ahead of the eagerly anticipated trip to Benfica.
